Abstract
The oxidation of Ti2AlC MAX phase has been studied in this paper. MAX phases are a class of materials with nano-layered structure. These materials have been formed from a transition metal (M), an element from the IIIA or IVA groups (A) and carbon or nitrogen (X). Ti2AlC MAX phase is a ternary carbide with layered structure and hexagonal crystalline lattice. Physical and chemical properties are the most significant characteristics of the Ti2AlC which have introduced this material as the most practical MAX phase known so far. This material is currently considered as the most used MAX phase at elevated temperatures, the application of which requires correct recognition of the oxidation mechanism. Many of researchers investigated on the oxidation of Ti2AlC. Therefore, it has been tried in this paper to introduce this MAX phase and also report all the investigations of its oxidation characteristics at elevated temperatures.
